aubergionContinuing my Breath of the Wild exploration!
I followed the road out of the Highland Stables, but I think my horse took me the wrong way - I ended up finding a quest to get a giant horse, and rode past two different lynels to end up back at the foot of the Great Plateau. There is, in fact, a giant horse there - based on its size, skittishness, coloration, and general temperament, I suspect it may be some manner of demon. It kicked Link to death twice before I accepted I probably didn't have the skill to get on the damn thing. Given the trouble I had sneaking up on the Giant Evil Horse, and seeing as I was back at the Plateau anyhow, I decided to follow the actual main quest and head to Kakariko Village for stealth gear.
The journey was a lot shorter than I remember it being the first time, I think because I'm better at headshots and not running away from every blue bokoblin and octoroks. Also, I have a faster horse.
Grabbed the climbing bandana, talked to Hestu, talked to Impa, headed east and found a shrine at the Lanaryu Promenade I've never seen before using my Sheikah Slate! I didn't figure out how to use the Sheikah Slate for a while, so this was a pleasant surprise. Sneaky sneaky shrine. Made it to Hateno, talked to Purah, teleported back to Impa, and that's where I ended my most recent playthrough!
I've got a bunch of shrines marked just north of Kakariko, so I think I'm going to try and ride around there and head back to the Highlands Stable, then check out the OTHER road.
